@eddastrohmayer251 Puh-lease, Edda, don't you ever watch the news? Or pick up a copy of The Economist or the Financial Times?
We're engaged in a trade war with the US as we speak, with US tariffs on European steel and aluminium and the EU countering with tariffs on US motorcycles, jeans and bourbon. Especially now, with Trump planning to impose a whole raft of additional tariffs on imports should he get elected, the EU is making contigency plans how to respond, and respond it will. Between trade blocs, tariffs or other obstacles to trade invariably spark a retaliatory response, which is why we call them trade wars. Economically, the battle lines between the EU and the US are clearly drawn.
